    I have made chisel handles from Rimu when I was young and didn't know better and they did not last at all. Split pretty quickly without hitting them at all. I also made some tool handles from manuka and that has survived very well. Pururi is a good choice also. Personally I would go and buy a hickory shovel handle, cheap and already mostly shaped for you.
